by the 'chdensation' of the steam. it will be see that the end of the pipe d goes con-i siderabiy below the Water levei' the incoming steam causes an agitation of the Water so that the impurities are carried oat by the pipe N into the tank K, where they are allowed to settle; If any steam is car ried over by the pipeN it is immediately condensed by coming in contact with the cold air entering the pipes M. In order to provide an additional means for condensing' the steam I arrange the screens S in the hood L. These screens provide extended sui'-v faces 'which 'rapidly' extijact the .heat from the steam and cause a complete eenden-sam -tlon of the latter. The pipe L 1s for the pulipose of conveying away the 'i'ieat whichl would otherwise be confined .in the hood. The Water in the tank K after having been i'eiieved of its settiings now overflows .into the cistern P from whence it may be pumped immediately into the heile?? through the pipe in a ure state.
